Emmerdale fans have been left completely baffled by a very obvious plot hole in the current Joe Tate<\/a> storyline.<\/p>

<\/div><\/div>\n

In recent episodes, Dr Crowley made a return to the show, holding Joe hostage in a makeshift hospital \u2013 after a hilarious shovel to the head<\/a> \u2013\u00a0 threatening to cut his kidney out again. To get him to stop, Joe had to transfer him all of the money he had \u2013 leaving him broke.<\/p>\n

But that\u2019s not all, Crowley also was revealed to be Kim\u2019s mystery man,<\/a> Eddie, showing Joe he can get close to those he cares about. Crowley told Joe he also wants Kim\u2019s money, and that he won\u2019t be going anywhere until he gets it. However, Emmerdale fans are confused over the whole thing.<\/p>\n

Joe Tate vs Crowley continues in Emmerdale<\/h2>\n

As the battle between Joe Tate and Dr Crowley continues, Joe is worried about the safety of Dawn and the kids. But it seems Eddie\u2019s main concern is getting Kim Tate\u2019s<\/a> money and if he has to go through Dawn to get it, then he will.<\/p>\n

The bad blood between Crowley and Joe all stems from the bizarre kidney theft storyline earlier in the year. Joe hired Crowley to help him get Caleb\u2019s kidney.<\/p>
